Tennessee is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: TORIS lets anyone run a name-based criminal history search online, for $29 a search, through the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. The result is the repository record, what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it. The search is on the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation site.
